St. Patrick's Day Flyer

Many consider St. Patrick's Day the beginning of spring.
I particularly enjoy the month of March because I get to perform my favorite Irish songs all month long!

My St. Patrick's Day flyer is here.

Give me a call or send me an email to schedule a program for your party or group. 

Academy of Western Artists Nomination

I'm honored to have been nominated by The Academy of Western Artists as one of the five finalist for Best Western Artist of 2017. The awards show is on March 17 in Fort Worth, Tx. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend due a heavy week of performing my Celtic Cowboy program. Doggone. Hate to miss it.

My new CD, Pale Moon on the Prairie, was nominated as Best Western Album but, alas, it didn't finish in the top five. A number of songs from the album were also nominated including Pale Moon on the Prairie, Swingin' Through The Sagebrush, Beneath the Apple Trees, A Cowboy Needs a Horse and one I wrote with lyricist Dennis Goodwin about Roy and Dale called God Save the King and Queen.  Dennis put together a nice video of the song.
Here's the link. Let me know what you think!

Pale Moon on the Prairie

A hearty thanks as big as the Wyoming sky to all the western DJs who've been playing my new album, Pale Moon on the Prairie. It is currently #6 on the top 30 Western Album Chart.

 Sample the CD here or on YouTube, iTunes, Spotify, CD Universe, Amazon and CDBaby.

2018 Music Program Brochure

My newly updated music program brochure is here.
All of my music programs have been updated with new songs and history for 2018.
Please note the addition of the program Songs From The Lonesome Prairie.
